A new study has re-examined data from the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia in search of extra-terrestrial intelligence (SETI). The study applied deep learning techniques to a classical search algorithm to yield faster and more accurate results. New signals were detected with narrow spectral width and non-zero drift rates, which could indicate they were not local to the radio observatory. The results illustrate the power of applying modern machine learning and computer vision methods in SETI. The researchers plan to extend the algorithm to the SETI Institute’s COSMIC system. As the amount of data collected in SETI experiments continues to grow, new computational tools are needed to quickly identify potential anomalies that could be evidence of extra-terrestrial intelligence.

Levofloxacin: A Game-Changer in Preventing Deadly Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis
A cost-effective antibiotic, levofloxacin, has been identified as a potent tool in reducing the risk of contracting drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Tuberculosis, the second deadliest infectious disease globally, poses a significant threat, especially in developing countries where access to treatment is limited. South African research, presented at the Union World Conference on Lung Health, reveals a […]
Obesity Alters Brain’s Ability to Sense Fullness and Satisfaction
Obesity can impair the brain’s ability to recognize fullness and satisfaction after consuming sugar and fat, and these changes may be permanent, leading to a vicious cycle of weight loss and gain. Researchers found that adults with obesity had different neurological responses to fat and sugar infusions in the stomach compared to lean adults. Dopamine […]
